The beauty of a good soup is that you need only a few steps for it to turn out tasty. Often, you’ll also only need one pan, though this soup requires a step in the oven that will call for two. Roasting the carrots here really draws out their flavor, which gives this orange bowl of butter a sweet, earthy flavor. A touch of thyme draws back memories of Thanksgiving all over again, while ginger spices things up to keep your body extra warm.

These lemon rosemary muffins are the perfect baked good to pair with chili (hello, Super Bowl?), eggs and bacon, or anything else you can think of that deserves a muffin or two. When I make these, I make multiple batches. They freeze so well, and I always find myself popping one of these in the oven with whatever I'm making for dinner. They are super simple to make, just use your favorite Bisquick or pancake mix!

In vegetarian recipes, I love coconut milk for the richness it can add to veggies, like the cabbage that keeps this particular dish on the light side. Make sure to use the full-fat version, though.

These are perfect for the days when you want something sweet but don’t want to do too much damage calorie-wise.

This is me using up some grilled pork belly leftovers — just (lazily) shredded and refried them, added barbecue sauce, and stuffed them in tacos! So yummy, and it took just five minutes.
